You can meet those who are serving and protecting Swan River and the area on Wednesday.

The town of Swan River is hosting an Emergency Services Day on Wednesday. It's from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Swan River Centennial Arena. 

Steven Henson is a staff sergeant with the RCMP and is based in Swan River. EMS and the Swan Valley Fire Department will join the RCMP.

"We will all have our vehicles there and display tables," said Henson. "Representatives will talk about what they do and how their vehicles and equipment work."

You're also asked to bring non-perishable food items to pack the boat. A boat will be on site, and all donated items will be given to the Swan River Food Bank. Sergeant Henson says this event has been held annually for several years.

He says it's great because it gives people an opportunity to meet emergency personnel. 

"It's a big deal," ended Henson. "It's a great way to grow relationships with the community and students. It's a very positive experience for us."

That's Emergency Services Day in Swan River at the Centennial Arena on Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
